Meaning & Story
Bengy is a diminutive spelling variant of Benjy or Benny, from Benjamin, a Hebrew name meaning 'son of the right hand' or 'son of the south' — suggesting strength and favor.
Bengy has a lovable scruffiness to it — the kind of name you'd find on a mixed-breed dog with a crooked smile and one ear that never quite stands up right. It's warm and slightly informal, the spelling variant that suggests this name came from the heart rather than a naming book. Pets named Bengy tend to be loyal companions with enormous personalities in compact packages, the kind who would cross the world for their person without being asked.
